On one side! The world dying! On the other, a couple people's jobs that can be replaced by green sector jobs!

What a massively hard decision.

Yeah, me disagreeing with them locking people up over social media posts criticizing them.

That can happen to anyone if they're fired.

It sucks for more than just that though. There's 0 reason for tipped workers to pay less in taxes over workers making the same just by virtue of being tipped.

Tech people love to think they don't need unions. Unfortunately.

Like a young Attenborough but less posh

Hell, he even said as much. That he'll most likely make some more videos. It's basically just a departure from the feeling of obligation to keep up a weekly schedule.

Though, he's not even leaving content creation. He's still got plenty of other projects running. That makes him less likely to hop back on than most, since he's actually got real other plans

It'll cost them the election, that's what

they did raise the bottom bar of education in all the states.

Maybe for the lowest level of children. They screwed over the education system for many more in exchange

Name one subject the left banned teaching of. I dare you.

Also I am not on the Republican or Democrat side of this, they are both wrong in like 90% of matters.

I've heard that line dozens of times over and the people who say it are 90% of the time solidly Republican voters

Healthy people with access to the surrounding world through the Internet is a giant net positive for a country

Certainly, if that was all the public domain was, it'd be great! But it's much worse than that. It allows people to freely take and profit off the art of others without paying dividends. It allows larger companies to steal and copy designs of small, new companies and under cut them even more readily and easily than they already do.

There's plenty of downsides that you're not considering.
